Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 25', 1911.

Application filed $11116. 17, 1910. Serial No. 567,499.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORLANDO B. SALIS- BURY, a citizen of the United States, residing -the adhering dirt, bacteria, sebum, sweat, of-

fensive odors, epidermic scales, and comedones without pulling out the hair'by the weakroots, which in time results in absolute baldness.

A further object of my invention is to Wash all the hair without getting the liquid into the ears and obstructing the hearing.

A still further obj cct of my invention is to cleanse the hair without letting the liquid run down the body.

Another object of the invention is to squeeze a part of the liquid ofl' from the cranium before drying by pressure and tapping.

S till another object of my invention is to alter the temperature, circulation, respiration, and secretions-of the cranial skin by the application of warm or coldwater.

Other advantages of the invention are that it may be easily ap lied to the cranium by the brims, securely astened at the neck for the employment of both hands, quickly rinsed, and readily hung up.

To accomplish these objects my invention consists essentially of a flexible water-proof cranial and neck portion extending to the lower-margin of thehair and in back of the ears; an inclosed long hair portion continuous with the front of said cranial and neck portion; a plurality offiexible integral projecting-fingers on the inside of said cranial, neck, and long hair portion; springs inclosed within the rim of said cranial and neck portion; strap-fasteners secured near I the sides of said neck portion; straps drawn through said fasteners and secured beneath the chin of the wearer; an inlet aperture at the top of said cranial portion; an outlet aperture at the lower end of said long ha r portion; disk-based couplings fitted to said city, county,

disk-based couplings; an inlet tube con nected to said upper screw-coupling; a

flexible bulb connected in the middle of said;

' apertures; screw-couplings connected to saidinlct tube; an inlet coupling at the outer end of said inlet tube; a valve-end detach able'fro n said inlet coupling; a faucet coupling detachable from said inlet coupling; an outlet'tube connected to said lower screw-coupling; and a shut-oft clamp on said outlet tube as hereinafter specified.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view of my hair washing hood s iowingthe cranial, neck, and long hair portion on the head connected to the tubes, bulb, and detachable faucet coupling, adapted for a siterspective ting position; Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, showing the projecting fingers on the inside of the cranial, neck, and long hair portion; Fig. 3 is'a perspective view of a modified form of Fig. 1 showing the cranial, neck, and long hair portion adapted for a stooping position;I ig. et-is a vertical section' of thesame showing the projecting fingers on the'inside of said cranial, neck, and long hair portion; Fig. his a perspective viewof another modified form of Fig. 1 showing the cranial and neck portion connected to the tubes, bulb, and detachable valve-end; Fig. 6 is a side elevation of thehoodconnccted to the tubes and detachable bag; Fig. 7 is a vertical section of the same showing the projecting fingers on the inside of the cranial and neck portion; Fig, 8 is a perspective view of F 1g. 5 showing the springs inclosed in the reinforced rim; Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the forehea temples, and neck s rings; and Fig. 10 is a section of the detac able'valve-end, similar letters referring to sinnlar parts throughout the drawings. v

My invention is constructed of a waterproof cranial and neck portion Aheavily re inforced atthe rim, preferably of flexible rubber, extending to the lower margin of the hair and inlback of the ears as'shown in Fig. 1. Continuous with the cranial or neck'port on 1s a flexible water-proof long hair portion A to inclose long hair in a stooping or sitting position with a space for gers B round at the points, preferably of rubber, to wash the skin between the hair.

NVithin the rim of the cranial and neck portion are inclosed springs C referably curved and divided into a forehea c, temples 0' and neck 0 section to'fitin the hollows and assist in drawing the rim water-tight. Near the lower sides. of the neck ortion are secured suitable strap-fasteners jpreferabl rings dsecured by short straps (1'. Through these fasteners are drawn straps E and secured: beneath the chin of the wearer to draw the rim water-tight and keep the hood on thecranium and neck-in a stooping, sit.-

ting, or straight position. At the top and "lower end 'of tlie cranial and neck or long.

hair portion is a-large inlet F and outlet (Jr aperture for thepassa e of the liquid. Into the apertures are-fitte disk-based couplings H sometimes rovided with-screw-threads. To these. diskased couplings are connected screw-couplings or capsI. At the top of .the cranial portion is an inlet tube-J connected to the disk-based or screw-con lings. In the middle of the-inlet tube is a flexible bulb K connected as usually forrforcing the liquid to the head. Preferably at the outer end of the inlet tube is an inlet coupling L for readily connecting the detachable parts. On the outer end of the inlet coupling or inlet tube are suitable means for supplying water to the cranial portion, preferably a detachable valve-end M for controlling the flow of liquid, a detachable bag M for holding a liquid, or a detachable faucet coupling M. At the lower end of the cranial, neck, or long hair portion is an outlet tube N connected to the disk-based or screw-coupling. Lastly, on the outlet tube is a slidable shutoff clamp O for controlling the flow of liquid. 7

There .are many methods of 'usi'ng my hair-washer. One wa is to gras the-brims a and carefully pulllthe hoo over the cranium, back of the neck, and hair, allowing the air to escape by the rim or shut-ofl' clamp 0. After securing the. straps D, stoop in front of a basin, then immerse the detachable valve-end M in soap-suds and alternately compress and relax the bulb K until partly full,' allowing the long hair portion A to rest on the back of the person, edge of the basin, back of the chair, or

adjustable tripod. Next gently tap the cranial, neck, or long hair portion with the hands for a moment, then open the shut-oil clamp or stretch the rim to allow the washwater to escape, repeating the operation if necessary. Now detach. the valve-end M from the inlet tube J, then attach the faucet coupling M. or bag M and allow the water to run tapping all the time. When thoroughly rinsed, press the water off from the hair and skin, then dry by pressure and tapping. Another Way of using this invention before washing 'is to remove the screwcouplings I from the disk-based couplings H of the cranial and long hairport'on to insert the soap in the space, then p hair and replace the; screw-couplings.

down the Lastly, another way "of using my. invention I before washing is to place the soap and water in the hoodor on the hair.
